Online English Lesson Content Developer

Novakidis an English language school for children aged 4–12.

We are looking for a Content Writer to join our Content team.

We’re looking for someone creative, energetic and full of ideas - someone who can turn learning objectives into lessons that children genuinely want to take part in.

Our lessons need to be more than correct. They need to be fun, intuitive, engaging and effective.

You’ll be creating online English learning content for children, working across different age groups, levels and projects. You may be developing a new lesson one day, improving an existing course the next, testing a new activity format, or working on a completely different Content project.

We need someone who enjoys that variety and is comfortable moving quickly between tasks.

What you’ll be doing

Design and develop fun, engaging and age-appropriate online English lessons for children

Turn learning objectives into clear, intuitive activities that encourage students to speak, think, interact and participate

Create lessons with clear and measurable learning outcomes

Build content with strong pacing, scaffolding and progression

Make sure lessons are appropriate for the student’s age, English level and cognitive development

Create activities, exercises, assessments and supporting content across different Novakid products

Review and improve existing lessons based on feedback, observations and performance

Take part in content reviews and give constructive feedback to other writers

Work closely with Methodology, Proofreading, Design, Production and other Content colleagues

Contribute ideas for new formats, activities and ways of making our lessons more engaging

Support pilots, new courses and other Content projects when needed

Stay up to date with developments in education, children’s digital learning and EdTech.

AI is part of how we work

We use AI extensively across the Content team, and we expect our Content Writers to be comfortable doing the same.

You should be able to

use AI as part of your everyday content creation workflow

use it to brainstorm, research, adapt and improve content

experiment with new AI tools and ways of working

critically review AI-generated material rather than accepting it at face value

understand when AI can save time and when human judgement is essential

be curious about how AI can help us create better learning experiences.

You don’t need to know every AI tool already, but you do need to be open, confident and eager to learn.

Requirements

What we’re looking for

Higher education

Strong knowledge of English language teaching and lesson planning

Experience creating educational or teaching materials

A strong understanding of how to structure a lesson and achieve a clear learning outcome

Excellent English - at least C1, both written and spoken

Strong digital skills and confidence in learning new tools

Creativity and the ability to turn a learning objective into something genuinely engaging for children

Good attention to detail

Ability to accept and act on feedback

Ability to work independently while also contributing to a team

The kind of person who will enjoy this role

You are creative. You don’t want every lesson to follow the same predictable pattern.

You are energetic. You bring ideas and enthusiasm into what you create.

You think from the child’s point of view. You ask whether an activity is actually enjoyable and intuitive, not just whether it teaches the right language.

You are flexible. You can move between projects, age groups, lesson types and priorities without becoming stuck.

You are mentally agile and comfortable handling several different tasks.

You are curious and eager to learn. You want to understand new tools, new approaches and what other learning products are doing.

You are proactive. You bring ideas rather than waiting for every detail to be given to you.

You are comfortable experimenting, receiving feedback and changing direction when something can be better.

You have embraced AI and see it as a useful part of modern content creation rather than something to avoid.

And most importantly, you care about creating lessons that children enjoy, understand and learn from.
